How many cute gadgets are there out there?
I’m guessing lots. I got an eyefull of the new Sony eBook reader today and was seriously impressed – but I’m not convinced it’s something I would rush out to buy. Maybe I’m not their target audience – to me a book is something I can lounge in a boiling hot tub with and I’m not sure the eBook is up to it (happy to be wrong here).
To be fair, it’s not doing anything that’s particularly unique either, modern phones and internet tablets are now performing this kind of media presentation very nicely now. 
Screens are now cheap (thanks to the Xo maybe) and I firmly believe that Apple have contributed by making this kind of gadget simple to use.
And maybe that’s why the dedicated device has it’s day today. Who knows what the future will bring?
